In an era of exponential digital growth, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has scaled with a never-before-seen rapidity. To address a sudden demand to serve over 800 million weekly active users, they needed a robust and scalable Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution—which they found by reimagining their identity infrastructure and integrating it with modular IAM components and a resilient, distributed SQL database. Whether you’re evolving a legacy estate or designing next-generation platforms, at this unique event, you’ll gain actionable insights into how you can match the global ambition of OpenAI for your own organisation.
Key discussion points
- How OpenAI are managing identity at scale for 800M+ ChatGPT users
- How and why distributed SQL changes the game when it comes to replication and failover strategy
- Immediate solutions to future-proof your architecture against outages, cloud lock-in, and compliance risks
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 12 IT, tech, engineering and architecture leaders from organisations in Greater London. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director—but spots are filling fast, so book yours now.
